Product Description

Amazon.com

Equipped for bare floors, carpet, and above-floor cleaning, the 12-amp Westinghouse Wired Deluxe vacuum covers a houseful of needs with an accessible straightforward design. The vacuum is built without bags or belts, so collected dirt stores in a roomy and washable dust bin complete with a foam filter. Fine particles are efficiently trapped by the machines long-lasting HEPA filter (though the companys promise of seven years of use per filter does seem too good to be true). The 13-1/2-inch-wide nozzle is adjustable for four different heights of carpet, and the power switch gives you the option of turning off the brush roll to protect bare floors. An indicator light helpfully signals if the brush roll is rotating. For high-up spots and attachment cleaning, the vacuums handle converts to a cleaning wand with a stretch hose. This is a clever design, but not seamless--you have to wrestle with it a bit. Once extended, though, the hose is markedly long, adding a full 10 feet of reach. Onboard attachments are also handy--including a universal cleaning tool, a crevice tool, a floor nozzle, and a dusting brush.

Westinghouses structure on this vacuum is strictly un-gimmicky. The body has a back-to-basics feel and doesnt bother with the sport car aerodynamics common to models of comparable power. In spite of this simplified approach, the machine does come with some handy details, such as quick-release cord hooks, powerful headlights, and a recessed carrying handle. --Emily Bedard

Watching My Language

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 19, 2004

Verified Purchase

I had to wait until I could control my language before writing this review. In fact, it takes a lot for me to feel that warning people is a public service, but, in this case, it is. I bought this vacuum several months ago. My old Eureka vac was burnt out and it needed to go. I'd had it for six years. On the day I left it out for scavengers, it worked better than this machine does brand new. It is difficult to imagine that the same engineer who put the attachments into such a great holder also created a path for dirt that, at one point, is less than half an inch wide, and brushes that are so closely packed in their drum that they get stuck constantly. I have dogs, that's why I thought a vacuum that can be used with or without the brushes would be great--I could do a once-over without the brushes and then do a deeper clean with them. Sure, except that without the brushes, there is absolutely no suction--I mean it will not pick up a dead moth off a bare floor. Then, when the brushes do work, it knits the dog hair into clumps that cannot make it through the aforementioned one-half inch blockage. I have actually had to unbend a wire hanger and shove it througb the machine to get out the vacuumed up hair. I don't mean once, I mean every single time I have vacuumed. Then, of course, there is the screw driver that pushes out the hair from the brushes. I admit, dog hair is tough; however, I have never had a vacuum at any price do such a bad job or create such hassles. True, it probably will never burn out, because it stops the brushes when they're blocked and just stops picking things up when it's clogged. This time, I long for the day the thing dies. This is one of those products you throw a party to bash up with mallets. It could be the worst appliance of any kind I have ever purchased.

What was I thinking?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 22, 2004

Verified Purchase

Got a great deal so ordered. I didn't realize that the trimming wand and the handle that you use to manuever the vaccuum were one and the same. Kind of grossed me out. Also, it doesn't slide back together easily once you try to use the trimming wand. The hose has to be completely stretched out to replace the cleaning pipe. I bought it for that feature (easy access for attatchments). It also is very heavy. And last but not least, the inside filter clogged about the third time I used it. This caused the suction to completely stop on the attatchments. It took me a while to figure out why it wouldn't pick up any more. I'll stick with my old vac.

Not for dog hair

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2004

Verified Purchase

This is a big upright that is pretty hard to push around. Plus, the way it's configured, the dog hair (I have three) gets stuck on its way to the cannister which means lots of cleanouts. And when you use the hose feature, it doesn't have enough power to pick up much. I'm on my way to sending it back right now.

Westinghouse WST1551 Wire Deluxe Vacuum

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 5, 2003

This medium weight upright vacumn was formerly manufactured by Fantom Industries until 2 or 3 yrs ago when they stopped all vacumn cleaner manufacturing as well as other items such as hard drives, etc. This Westinghouse reissued vacumn was listed as the Cyclone by Fantom and was widely distributed in the US and Canada. My Fantom Cyclone was the second Fantom owned by me and was much improved over their first much heavier upright vacumn named Thunder. Both had genuine high quality Hepa filtered final exhaust filters that far exceed the filmsy, thin, low quality and/or falsely advertised so called Hepa labeled filters on all the other upright vacumns generally available today for under $400.
The Westinghouse WST1551 retains the Fantom Cyclone's true Hepa final exhaust filter systen. It is rated as good for up to 7 years with periodic cleaning which I found to be about double what I got from both of my Fantoms Hepa filters, which were also periodically cleaned. The new vacumn has an additional 3 to 4 inch diameter, higher quality filter with a very resistent to tiny partical passage 1 inch thick foam insert added to the breather cap of the collection bin. The collection bin and foam filter is washable. The collection bin dirt collection retainer system is now hinged making it far easier to empty, clean up or even sanitize by washing than others. Other than being blue, rather than black, and having clear hoses instead of black, I have not noted any other differences. The Fantoms were made in the US and Canada while the Westinghouse is made in China and retails for approximately 50% less! As of June 2004, K-MART, and perhaps others, are now selling a series of low cost and quality vacuums labeled Fantom that should not be confused with the old Fantoms or the Westinghouse WST1551 Wire Deluxe.
Due to severe allergy problems, I have purchased and modified many different vacumn cleaner systems over the years including some of the best cleaning and lowest exhaust emitting particle cleaners tested by Consumer Reports and found my current Fantom Cyclone and now my improved Westinghouse WST1551 Wire Deluxe Vacuum the best for my needs. I ordered my first one in October 2003 and am so satisfied with it that I ordered a second one in July 2004, one for the house in general and the other for a special dog sleeping area. The other brand vacuum noted below has been relegated to the garage the last 9 months and will be trashed once the newly ordered one is received.
My other relatively new, highly rated, heavy and well known brand upright will no longer be used. It is so dirty and messy to empty due to its so called Hepa filter. Its Hepa is nothing more than a thick non particle air passing paper loosely folded into a round tube anchored behind a screen in the dirt collection bin. Final exhaust filtering is done by a multilayered, tighly woven and slightly sticky filtering composite which still allows dust smell to pass through it.

It's been replaced

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 21, 2005

At first when I bought this vacuum, I loved it. But after using it for just a few months, the suction decreased rapidly. I began to really hate vacuuming. I recently replaced it with a Dyson, which I'm loving a lot more. I recommend you save your money for a better vacuum.
